I think we just found the bomber. From Grok (Elon Musk's X AI): The post claims former U.S. Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff placed pipe bombs near DNC headquarters and the Capitol on January 5, 2021, based on a Blaze Media report using gait analysis software that matched her stride to suspect video at 94% probability.
Kerkhoff, who served in the Capitol Police's Civil Disturbance Unit on January 6 and now works CIA campus security, has a documented slight limp from a 2015 leg injury aligning with the suspect's distinctive walk, per investigative sources.
While the story has amassed over 30,000 likes and sparked insider conspiracy theories, it relies on anonymous intelligence officials and unverified footage, with no official FBI confirmation despite a $500,000 reward for leads. Onward and upward, airforce

They just shot themselves in the foot. Well, good. [quote]I recently joined the Socialist Rifle Association and reached out to my local chapter to join, trying to make some like-minded friends with similiar (sic) interests. I was really excited, and thought it would be a good chance to build a social group around things I’m passionate about. As part of applying to join the local chapter, I had to do a 45 minute interview with two members, which I thought went pretty well, and I was looking forward to being made a full member. Then, yesterday, I got told that my application to join the chapter was denied, because I’m in the national guard. They said they currently have a policy against letting servicmembers join their chapter.To be honest, I get it. With everything going on with how the military is being used currently, I understand not wanting to let servicemembers join an organization like that, but it’s really frustrating I got told AFTER paying for a membership, and wasting my time on the interview. Granted, I can still be a member of SRA as a whole, and participate in their online forums, but the whole reason I joined was to form some in-person relationships with my local chapter. Sorry to rant a bit, but I do actually have a point to sharing this. If anyone else here is a liberal servicemember, thinking of joining the SRA, do so with caution. Reach out to your local chapter and make sure they don’t have an issue with your service before wasting your time and money.p/quote] Onward and upward, airforce

Via Grok: The term "homeless industrial complex" refers to a critique of the systems and organizations—government agencies, nonprofits, and private entities—that address homelessness but may perpetuate it through self-interest, inefficiency, or misaligned incentives. Critics argue that these entities benefit financially or politically from the persistence of homelessness, creating a cycle where solutions are stalled to maintain funding, jobs, or influence. For example, bloated bureaucracies, high administrative costs, or policies that prioritize temporary fixes over permanent housing can contribute. On the other hand, defenders of these systems argue that the complexity of homelessness—tied to mental health, addiction, and economic factors—requires robust, multifaceted approaches, and funding is often insufficient.
No definitive data quantifies the "complex" as a singular entity, but studies, like one from the Urban Institute (2023), show that U.S. spending on homelessness programs exceeds $20 billion annually, yet chronic homelessness persists in many cities. X posts often highlight frustration with visible encampments and question the efficacy of funded programs, though some argue these critiques oversimplify a nuanced issue. The debate centers on whether resources are misallocated or if systemic barriers prevent effective solutions. The system profits off the problem, not the solution. Case in point is Portland, which spent $744 million on homeless programs just last year. How well is it working? Judge for yourself: Civil libertarians have been opposed to the forcible detainment of the mentally ill in psychiatric or rehabilitation institutions. but what other alternatives are there to save their lives?

Who will come out on top? It looks like it's a real problem only for liberals. That's something of a relief.
